Despite a career that stretches more than 16 years, Gegard Mousasi actually doesn’t enjoy fighting all that much.
Now it’s not to say that the reigning Bellator middleweight champion despises his job but rather he looks at mixed martial arts as his profession and he treats it as such.
“I’m fighting to get paid,” Mousasi told MMAFighting ahead of his return at Bellator London on Saturday. “I’m not doing this because I love the sport so much. I’m not a crazy person. The motivation if I beat these guys, if I keep winning, my paycheck will go up eventually after my contract is done.
